Asian Perceptions of Gulf Security

Asian Perceptions of Gulf Security

Gulf stability is coming to play a larger role in the foreign policy calculus of many states but the evolving role of Asian powers is largely under-represented in the International Relations literature. This volume addresses this gap with a set of empirically rich theory driven case studies written by academics from or based in the countries in question. The underlying assumption is not that Asian powers have already become important security actors in the Gulf but rather that they perceive the Gulf as a region of increasing strategic relevance. How will leaders in these countries adjust to an evolving regional framework? Will there be coordinated efforts to establish an Asian-centered approach to Gulf stability or will Asian rivalries make the region a theater of competition? Will US–China tensions force alignment choices among Asian powers? Will Asian states balance bandwagon hedge or adopt some other approach to their Gulf relationships? These questions become even more important as the western boundaries of Asia increasingly come to incorporate the Middle East. The book will appeal to scholars and students in the fields of International Relations Security Studies and International Political Economy as well as area specialists on the Gulf and those working on foreign policy issues on each of the Asian countries included. Professionals in government and non-government agencies will also find it very useful.

China's Relations with the Gulf Monarchies

China's Relations with the Gulf Monarchies

As China’s international political role grows its relations with states outside of its traditional sphere of interests is evolving. This is certainly the case of the Gulf monarchies of Bahrain Kuwait Oman Qatar Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates which together comprise the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). China’s levels of interdependence with these states has increased dramatically in recent years spanning a wide range of interests. What motivating factors explain the Chinese leadership’s decision to forge closer ties to the GCC? Why have GCC leaders developed closer ties to China and what kind of role can China be expected to play in the region as levels of interdependence intensify? This book uses neoclassical realism to analyse the evolution of Sino-GCC relations. Examining the pressures that shaped China’s policy toward the Gulf monarchies it demonstrates that systemic considerations have been predominant since 1949 yet domestic political considerations were also always an important consideration. Relations are examined across diplomatic and political interactions trade and investment infrastructure and construction projects people-to-people exchanges and military and security cooperation. This book will appeal to scholars in the fields of International Relations and International Political Economy as well as area specialists on China the Gulf the Gulf Monarchies and those working on foreign policy issues. | China's Relations with the Gulf Monarchies

The Myth of Arab Piracy in the Gulf

The Myth of Arab Piracy in the Gulf

The British became the dominant power in the Arab Gulf in the late eighteenth century. The conventional view has justified British imperial expansion in the Gulf region because of the need to supress Arab piracy. This book first published in 1988 challenges the myth of piracy and argues that its threat was created by the East India Company for commercial reasons. The Company was determined to increase its share of Gulf trade with India at the expense of the native Arab traders especially the Qawasim of the lower Gulf. However the Company did not possess the necessary warships and needed to persuade the British Government to commit the Royal Navy to achieve this dominance. Accordingly the East India Company orchestrated a campaign to misrepresent the Qawasim as pirates who threatened all maritime activity in the northern Indian Ocean and adjacent waters. Any misfortune that happened to any ship in the area was attributed to the ‘Joasmee pirates’. This campaign was to lead eventually to the storming of Ras al-Khaimah and the destruction of the Qawasim. Based on extensive use of the Bombay Archives previously unused by researchers this book provides a thorough reinterpretation of a vital period in Gulf history. It also illuminates the style and method of the East India Company at a critical period in the expansion of the British Empire. | The Myth of Arab Piracy in the Gulf

Rivals in the Gulf Yusuf al-Qaradawi Abdullah Bin Bayyah and the Qatar-UAE Contest Over the Arab Spring and the Gulf Crisis

Rivals in the Gulf Yusuf al-Qaradawi Abdullah Bin Bayyah and the Qatar-UAE Contest Over the Arab Spring and the Gulf Crisis

Rivals in the Gulf: Yusuf al-Qaradawi Abdullah Bin Bayyah and the Qatar-UAE Contest Over the Arab Spring and the Gulf Crisis details the relationships between the Egyptian Shaykh Yusuf al-Qaradawi and the Al Thani royal family in Qatar and between the Mauritanian Shaykh Abdullah Bin Bayyah and the Al Nahyans the rulers of Abu Dhabi and senior royal family in the United Arab Emirates. These relationships stretch back decades to the early 1960s and 1970s respectively. Using this history as a foundation the book examines the connections between Qaradawi’s and Bin Bayyah’s rival projects and the development of Qatar’s and the UAE’s competing state-brands and foreign policies. It raises questions about how to theorize the relationships between the Muslim scholarly-elite (the ulama) and the nation-state. Over the course of the Arab Spring and the Gulf Crisis Qaradawi and Bin Bayyah shaped the Al Thani’s and Al Nahyan’s competing ideologies in important ways. Offering new ways for academics to think about Doha and Abu Dhabi as hegemonic centers of Islamic scholarly authority alongside historical centers of learning such as Cairo Medina or Qom this book will appeal to those with an interest in modern Islamic authority the ulama Gulf politics as well as the Arab Spring and its aftermath. | Rivals in the Gulf Yusuf al-Qaradawi Abdullah Bin Bayyah and the Qatar-UAE Contest Over the Arab Spring and the Gulf Crisis

The “Resource Curse” in the Persian Gulf

The “Resource Curse” in the Persian Gulf

The Resource Curse in the Persian Gulf systematically address the little studied notion of a resource curse in relation to the Persian Gulf by examining the historical causes and genesis of the phenomenon and its consequences in a variety of areas including human development infrastructural growth clientelism state-building and institutional evolution and societal and gender relations. The book explores how across the Arabian Peninsula oil wealth began accruing to the state at a particular juncture in the state-building process when traditional largely informal patterns of shaikhly rule were relatively well established but the formal institutional apparatuses of the state were not yet fully formed. The chapters show that oil wealth had a direct impact on subsequent developments in these two complementary areas. Contributors discuss how on one hand the distribution of petrodollars enabled political elites to solidify existing patterns of rule through deepening clientelist practices and by establishing new dependent clients; and how on the other rent revenues gave state leaders the opportunity to establish and shape institutions in ways that solidified their political control. The Resource Curse in the Persian Gulf will be of great interest to scholars of Middle Eastern studies focusing on a variety of subject areas including human development human resources clientelism infrastructural growth institutional evolution state-building and societal and gender relations. This book was originally published as a special issue in the Journal of Arabian Studies. | The “Resource Curse” in the Persian Gulf

The Gulf Stock Exchange Crash The Rise and Fall of the Souq Al-Manakh

The Gulf Stock Exchange Crash The Rise and Fall of the Souq Al-Manakh

The collapse of Souq Al-Manakh in Kuwait in August 1982 was the most spectacular financial crash of recent years. The market had developed as a parallel stock exchange dealing in the shares of Gulf companies not resident in Kuwait. Fuelled by manic speculation the market grew at a phenomenal rate throughout 1981 and early 1982. Inexperienced investors gambled huge sums on the shares of shell companies promoted largely for share speculation. At the height of the market US$92 billion was outstanding on nearly 30 000 postdated cheques the usual form of payment used in the market. The financial crisis created by the collapse of the Souq Al-Manakh threatened the stability of Kuwait. The government was forced to intervene and absorb the major part of the loss. This book first published in 1986 traces the growth of the stock market and analyses its collapse. It also discusses in detail the wider impact of this debacle on the economic life of the Gulf. | The Gulf Stock Exchange Crash The Rise and Fall of the Souq Al-Manakh
